Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.

I think that you should still be concerned about the remaining tube. For the same reasons that you had the ectopic in 2007, your other tube might be diseased as well in a way that was not detectable on HSG. There should be consideration of a laparoscopy to look at the other tube, and to assess for adhesions. I only suggest this because IUI is expensive, and if the remaining tube is not functional or there are adhesions, then it will likely not work or you will be at risk for a recurrent ectopic pregnancy.

I hope that this helps and good luck!!
